Movie Review: Wolfs (2024) – A Fun, If Forgettable, Hitman Comedy

Wolfs (2024) is the kind of movie that, depending on your mood, might fluctuate between a 6 and a 7, offering an enjoyable but ultimately forgettable experience.

The plot kicks off when a wealthy, older woman staying at an ultra-luxurious hotel finds herself in a difficult situation: there’s a dead young man in her suite. She calls for help, and a hitman-like character, portrayed by George Clooney, arrives to handle things. But things get interesting when Brad Pitt’s character, another hitman, shows up unexpectedly. It turns out the hotel, wanting to avoid bad publicity, sent their own cleaner to fix the mess. What follows is a tense dynamic between the two, as they dislike each other but are forced to cooperate for reasons the film reveals later on.

Comedy: The humor in Wolfs isn’t the kind that will make you burst out laughing, unless you’re new to movies or enjoy simpler comedic beats. Still, the chemistry between Clooney and Pitt offers plenty of moments that will make you smile or chuckle. Their banter and thinly veiled disdain for each other provide a continuous stream of low-key humor, though it never hits the highs you’d expect from a star-studded film.

Action: If you’re hoping for explosive action sequences, keep your expectations in check. There’s action in Wolfs, but it’s more restrained—probably under 10 minutes in total. While the fight scenes and action set pieces are competently done, they won’t stick in your mind days after watching. The movie focuses more on its story and character interactions, using the action more as a backdrop than a highlight.

At its core, Wolfs is a hitman comedy that balances mild humor and moderate action. It has a simple but intriguing plot that will keep you entertained for the duration of the film, even if it won’t leave a lasting impression. It’s not a mindless cash grab; there’s genuine thought put into the narrative and pacing, though it doesn’t bring much originality to the table.

With Clooney and Pitt headlining, Wolfs had the potential to deliver more than it ultimately does. The film is fun and easy to watch, but it doesn’t push any boundaries, which might leave some viewers feeling underwhelmed given the talent involved.

Final Verdict: Wolfs is a decent way to pass a couple of hours, with some enjoyable banter and light action. It’s an easygoing, entertaining movie for a casual watch, though you likely won’t remember much of it a few weeks later. If you’re a fan of Clooney and Pitt, you’ll appreciate their performances, but you might leave wanting a bit more from the overall experience.
